Popups When Loading Forum

Yep, it just happened again. See screen grabs from Symantec. Note that the second and third image are the same error message however, as it would not allow me to expand the dialog box, it is shown as two separate images.

I have also noticed apart from notron going haywire ( I thought they were trying to get me to resubscribe lol) that sometimes IE hangs when going into the PMs folder

Having a look now. Not sure what this is. Doesnt happen for me on several computers. Do you have spyware software running on your machine?

I have also done an AV Sweep of all files in the site and have detected nothing.

Have verified with Symantec that it is in fact a virus on your machine. It is not related to the site in anyway and possibly something that you have picked up and is loaded with you use your browser.

More info can be found here:

My suggestion is to install Spybot Search and Destroy and verify any spyware on your machine. This can be found here: http://www.safer-networking.org/en/download/index.html

Or if you are running Windows XP SP2 - You can download Microsoft Windows Defender to do a search - http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/s...re/default.mspx

Let me know how you go. It is definently related to your machines having spyware on them.

Running a corporate version of Symantec Antivirus (10.0.2.2001) however, as most of the options within it are locked down by the IT guys (this is a very large company), I am unable to determine whether there is any Anti spyware running. To my knowledge, no, there is no Anti spyware running

Wow.. theres been quite a few responses to my post!

No, I havent had any pms - all the websites start with www.seeq... etc. But they are blocked by firefox.

Im on a work computer - doesnt pick up any viruses etc. and I dont get any popups on any other pages.. wierd.

I ran Spybot as Chris suggested and came up with this...

My Symantec Anti-Virus software is updated daily and it's been picking up a virus called "downloader" everytime I log on here. It didn't however stop the thing in the pic above happening.

I'll let you all know if I get hit again.

I had an IE meltdown with a spyware problem recently, switched to firefox and not a problem any more.

[Paranormal]

Mine 2 have to hit the back button twice.

Adam you can ignore the spybot message it just means in your Service pack 2 setting under control panel, windows security centre, antivirus updates is set to not monitored, you can enable it to stop getting that error, just click on recommendations and enable.

In the past three days, when loading the Forum home page, I have had Symantec Antivirus go into fits and suggest there is a virus from a html page on the site.  I can't identify what it is, Symantec can't clean it so it deletes it.  It does not happen every time (probably due to caching) however, this only started on Monday and has appeared three times so far.  I have no idea why.

I don't know if this is related to your query or not.

I have also had this problem just this week.

Also have to hit the back button twice to return to the previous page.
